The first book in a trilogy is set in the Joseph Stalin-era Soviet Union and follows disgraced lawman Leo Demidov who is assigned to investigate a series of gruesome child murders.
Hardy will play the Soviet officer while Rapace will play his wife, who pretends to be a doting partner but is concealing many thoughts and feelings.
The story is based on the real life tale of Ukrainian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo aka the Rostov Ripper who was executed in 1994 for 52 murders.
"Safe House" director Daniel Espinosa will call action on the pic.
Richard Price adapted the script.
Ridley Scott was once attached to direct and remains producer with Michael Costigan
Hardy and Rapace are also set to work on Michael R. Roskam's film adaptation of author Dennis Lehane's short story "Animal Rescue" which will shoot first
